Thank you for a great write-up! This helped a lot for converting over a fairly large React app.
That being said, there were a few "gotchas" I encountered that were not mentioned. Like in a few other comments, I had to remove all occurrences of
%PUBLIC_URL%from the index.html file. I had to convert over about 95% of my .js files to .jsx. I was having an issue importing a.m4vvideo file into a couple of my components. I learned I had to add this 'assetsInclude' line to vite.config.ts:export default defineConfig({assetsInclude: ['**/*.m4v'],
...
Lastly, I had to rename my env vars in my .env file from
REACT_APP_ABCtoVITE_ABCand then wherever I used them in my code I had to changeprocess.env.REACT_APP_ABCtoimport.meta.env.VITE_ABC. Also remember the current running environment(production, development, etc) is now atimport.meta.env.MODE.for bigger codebase where you dont want to convert all the files from .js to .jsx at once, then this may help:

Well done 👍
Nice article, I followed this and got an Internal URI malformed error on the browser. then on the terminal I got that I have to rename every file in my project that uses jsx to a .jsx extension and I am trying to migrate a larger codebase with tons of files. Please any help?
You only need to remove the %PUBLIC_URL% in the index.html file. It worked for me :)
I replaced %PUBLIC_URL% to public. E.g.
<link rel="icon" href="/public/favicon.ico" />
It works now.
Nice work!
If you want to keep index.html under src, you could also create the vite.config.ts under src and change the start script in step 6 to
vite serve srcto serve the code from an alternate directory.I have done all above mantioned steps but got this error

Great guide, thanks!
